The present invention relates to packing apparatus for packing rolls ofcoins.

The principal object of the invention is to provide improvements in andnovel constructions of apparatus for packing rolls of coins in which apacking paper is used on the two lateral edges of which pointedprojecting parts are provided which, after the roll of coins has beenrolled up, are folded overon to the ends of the said roll of coins.According to the invention, for the purpose of folding over the pointedprojections, there are provided on the two guide rollers receiving theroll of coins, folding rollers, the distance of which from one anotheris adjustable in a, manner known per se according to the length of theroll of coins which is to be packed at any given time, whilst for thepurposeof pressing and sticking the pointed projections on to the paperor cardboard discs which are inserted at the ends of the rolls of coins,rollers mounted one above the other on vertical axles between thefolding rollers, so as to form roller columns, are employed. Forfacilitating the adjustment for a definite length of the roll of coinsto be packed at any given time, the folding rollers are arranged so asto be displaceable on the guide rollers and are provided with grooveswith which a carrier engages, which latter is arranged together with theroller column on an adjustable carriage.

The features of the invention are illustrated by way of example in theconstructional form of the apparatus shown in the accompanying drawings,in which:

Referring to the drawings:

The packing paper I is, as shown in Fig. 10, of approximatelyrectangular shape and is made of the same width as the length of a rollof coins of a certain definite value. The rear parts of 5 the lateraledges are provided with a row of pointed projections 5, which extendover a length which is equal to the periphery of the roll of coins whichit is desired to pack at any given time. The packing paper is alsoprovided. at its 10 lateral edges with two circular tongues or lugs 4having the same diameter as the coins which are to be packed. Thecircular tongues or lugs 4 may, however, be omitted, and in this caseseparate circular discs of paper or cardboard are inserted one at eachend of the roll of coins, and. the projections 5 are folded over andstuck on to the said discs. For this purpose either the lugs 5 or theprojections 5 are coated with an adhesive, and the adhesive may bemoistened before the packing operation. The said lugs and projectionsmay, however, also be coated with a special adhesive of known kind whichis adapted to cause adhesion in the dry state.

The packing paper I is also provided with two rows of small apertures orwindows 6, which are staggered with regard to one another, in order torender it possible to see through the said windows the coins over thewhole width of the paper, i. e. over the whole length of the roll ofcoins, as can be seen from Fig. 9. Through these apertures it can beseen from the exterior whether the roll actually contains coins and whatnumber of such coins are contained therein.

The apparatus which folds over the projections 5 of the packing paperand sticks it during the rolling up operation against the lugs 3 oragainst inserted cardboard discs will now be described. The apparatus ispreferably arranged on the upper side of a board I. On the two sides ofthe board two sheet metal battens ill are provided which serve for thejournalling of the system of rollers comprised by the packing apparatus.In order to provide space for mounting the rollers the front part H ofthe board is recessed and made lower than the middle part l2. Thesurface of the middle part l2 serves for the reception of the packingpaper I, the projecting lateral sheet metal member 41 serving as a stopto ensure that the paper is in the correct position. The paper passes inthe first place through two or more guide rollers l3 and I4; In order tobe able to insert the paper I easily between the said rollers and thusto bring it into the correct position, the upper roller I4 is arrangedso as to be upwardly 55 adjustable. The axle I5 of the said upper rollerI4 is, for this purpose, mounted in a vertical slot l6 as can be seenfrom Figs. 1 and 2 and Figs.

7 and 8 respectively. Two springs II are pro- 5 videdwhich press theupper roller it constantly against the lower roller l3 and in thismanner provide a rectilineal guide for the paper i during the packing ofthe roll of coins 9. The rollers I 3 and M are coated with rubber inorder to pro- 10 vide the necessary friction.

It is desirable to be able to eflect the upward and downward adjustmentwith one hand only in order to be able to hold the inserted packingpaper I in the right position with the other hand until the paper isgripped between the rollers. This is eilected by the provision of twosmall eccentric sectors 29 each provided with a manipulating member 2|and an end stop 22. The two eccentric sectors 29 are positivelyconnected with one another through the medium of an axle 23. If one ofthesectors 20 ismoved in the direction of the arrow 24 the roller I4 israised and becomes positioned in the recess l8. When an eccentric sector29 (Fig. 2) moves back again the 25 axle l5 glides out of the recess l8,and the roller I 4 is, in consequence of itsbeing guided by theeccentric sector, drawn down again by spring action.

For the feeding of the roll of coins 9 and for facilitating the rollingi'af the latter during the packing operation two further rollers 26operating in known manner are provided. The said rollers carry at oneend of each'of them stationary folding rollers 21 and are also providedwith two folding rollers 28 which are slidable and adjustable upon themand which, during the operation of packing the roll of coins, effect thefolding over of the projections 5 of the packing paper I. The foldingrollers 28 must be adjustable to different distances away from'thefolding rollers 21, inasmuch as it is intended that with one and thesame apparatus rolls of coins of any desired difierent lengths can bepacked and sealed.

The two folding rollers 29 are therefore mounted 45 so as to berotatable and slidable on the rollers 26. The sliding movement iseffected by means of a carriage 30, which, through the medium of abearing 3|, is slidable on a further roller 33, and

which is adapted to be fixed in position by means 50 of a screw, 34. Thesliding movement is transmitted to the rollers'28 throughthe medium of acarrier-35 which engages with the grooves 36 of the rollers 28. Thelength of the roll of coins at any given time is adjusted by means of an55 indicator 38 associated with a scale 31 which is provided on thefront of the surface I I.

For the purpose of packing up the roll of coins the paper i is drawnforward. During this :movement the inclined edges of the projections 5strike against the rounded parts of the folding rollers 21 and 28 andare thereby folded upwards so that they finally come to rest on the endsurfaces of the roll of coins. The projections 5 are then pressed upagainst the lugs 4 and stuck on to 65 the latter through the agency ofthe two vertical roller columns 39 and 49. The roller column 39 isrigidly fixed to the surface I l of the board and the column 40 isrigidly fixed to the carriage 30. The roller columns each comprise avertical sta- 70 tionary axle upon which a considerable number portionof the roller column directed towards the end surface of the roll ofcoins may project slightly in front of the folding rollers 21 and 23respectively in order to I effect the operation of pressing up theprojections 5 with certainty. The 5 rollers 21 and 28 are rounded off inorder that the surface of the folding roller directed towards theprojections 5 may be made as large as possible without contacting withthe roller columns 39 and 40 respectively.

It is-advantageous to arrange that the setting of the roll of coins 9which is to be packed, between the roller columns 39 and I9 takes placewith a certain amount of spring action. For this purpose the roller 33together with the carriage 15 90 is adapted to be displaced axially to asmall extent and is provided with an external pressing spring 4|.

The method of employing the hereinbefore described apparatus for packingrolls of coins is as :0 follows: The guide roller I4 is first raised bypulling forward the lever 2| in order that the packing paper I can beinserted between the two rollers i3 and I4; Thereupon the paper isbrought into the position shown in Fig. 3, i. e. so that the pro- 25jections 5 Just touch the sheet metal member 41 and also so that thevertically upwardly flat lugs 4 (Fig. 10) come into position between theroller columns 39 and 49. The roller. I4 is then lowered in order thatthe paper i should remain in the so correct position. The roll of coins9 is now laid upon the paper and the rollers 26, whereupon the packingup can be immediately effected by hand. The roll of coins must, duringthe packingoperation, roll on the two rollers 29. After the whole 35strip of paper I has been rolled up the finished, packed and closed rollof coins can be at once taken out of the apparatus.
